Although price points are not confirmed yet, part of the goal in this new model (of which there are five references), is to offer “competitive pricing,” says Knoop. The bezel of the steel model, shown above, is set with 54 diamonds totaling just under a carat. There are five references in the collection, including gold pieces with and without diamonds, and various colored straps, including raspberry and bronze. It contains the automatic IWC Caliber 35111, with a 42-hour power reserve.
The cases and crowns of the new models have been refined, without losing the original proportions or the double bezel with its peripheral grooves. And while the originals had indexes on the dial, the new models have applied Arabic numerals. There is also a new butterfly clasp. The round case shape of both new models is important because it is a link to the collection’s muse, Leonardo Da Vinci, the Renaissance inventor, artist and all-round genius.
